Teen Gothic

So in September I will be hosting my first event ever, and it is reviving the goth nights that used to happen pretty frequently. It’s at the place I already work at and has a full sound set-up so thankfully the venue is taken care of! I am asking for advice regrading organizing an event and asking for any tips or tricks. I have decorations made, a playlist, and I am working on drink specials for the bar. I am very excited as I am a lazy goth and will get to spread my wings so to speak.( it’s bat/crow themed!) I’m a bit nervous and want to cover my bases, I want it to be a fun night for everyone!

So I live in a small collage town and as far as I've seen there is zero goth scene or events going on. The closest thing I've gotten is a pop-punk/emo nightthst a local bar does every few months. The attire is set to "goth" but obviously its not an actual goth night. I've seen and spoken to a few other goths around town who have also expressed a want for a goth night where we can have actual goth music.

How would I go about organizing something like this? I could DJ, I have a playlist set out but it's everything else I'm lost on. Any advice?

Tonight we dive into the dark underworld of Gothic Rock! Rising from the ashes of late 70s punk, Goth Rock mixed the batwing style of Bram Stoker's Dracula with bizarre sentiments, black humor and a big beat. This classic episode (part of the Night Flight Series 'Twenty Years of Rock N' Roll Style') is a tour de force of goth bands and their myriad solo offshoots. Fittingly kicking off with Bauhaus' "Bela Lugosi's Dead," this episode also features music from Peter Murphy, Love and Rockets, The Damned, Sisters of Mercy, Fields of the Nephilim and more. Hope all you post-punk ghouls enjoy!
